Meanwhile, Emano said that Duterte-Carpio’s father, President Duterte, will arrive at a later date to endorse the candidacy of first district congressional candidate Christian Unabia in his capacity as chair of PDP-Laban. Unabia is adopted by PaDayon Pilipino as their common candidate with PDP-Laban in the first district.

Emano also hinted that during that day, the President may also likely endorse the PDP-Laban slate in Cagayan de Oro City which is led by incumbent Mayor Oscar Moreno, the governor’s political nemesis.

“Makasabot man ako ana kay dili man kami PDP-Laban,” Emano said but added he still believes in the President’s body language of endorsing PaDayon Pilipino mayoral bet Jose Gabriel La Viña as shown in the widely circulated picture of the two raising each other’s hands.
